Io non abito al mare [English translation]

I’m not an expert on love,

I can’t speak it.

I’m not an expert on you,

that is why you don’t come with me.

I don’t live by the sea, but I can imagine it

It’s time to go to sleep

but it is the mind that carries us away

beyond these buoys, it seems like a lie

because I can’t swim.

I’d like to whisper these things in your ear

while they scream and push me at a concert

shout them in the woods, into the wind

to see if you are listening to me.

I’d like to tell you these things above the techno music,

crumple them in a piece of paper and throw them in a bin

tonight I’m not putting on make up, I look even better without it

I want to see if you’re listening to me,

if you’re listening to me.

I’m not an expert on love,

I can’t explain it

but when I have lunch with you

I’m afraid that the time for coffee comes

that you’re too sweet with me

I want to get up from here,

see if you come after me outside

I’d like to whisper these things in your ear

while they scream and push me at a concert

shout them into the woods, in the bed

to see if you’re listening to me

I’d like to tell you these things above the techno music,

crumple them in a piece of paper and throw them in a bin

tonight I’m not putting on make up, I look even better without it

I want to see if you’re listening to me,

if you’re listening to me.

A series of emotions to forget,

perhaps it’s better if we talk about university,

or the A league.

I’d like to whisper these things in your ear

while they scream and push me at a concert

shout them in the woods, into the wind

to see if you are listening to me.

I’d like to tell you these things above the techno music,

crumple them in a piece of paper and throw them in a bin

tonight I’m not putting on make up, I look even better without it

I want to see if you’re listening to me,

if you’re listening to me.
